With 14 stages featuring over 170 acts, the whole town has now jumped on board the good ship Southsea Festwith a number of local establishments hosting mini events featuring DJ’s, poetry and art.

Established on 15th September 2007 as the Southsea Mini Music Fest, the one day charity event sold out its 350 capacity, held in aid of promoter Josie Curtis’ younger brother to record an album, post a bone marrow transplant. Since then a number of small events have led the way for the wonderfully nautical-themed festival to develop, with all profits from the day still going directly to charity. The first full-scale Southsea Fest was held last September, and already the cultural event has caught the imagination of the city and its people.
